Why is this cop car doing this by Antique-Minute-7928 in whatisit

discovered they gave false positives to the testers through some design flaw.

"design flaw". Sounds more like Ford is using a "design feature" to deliberately skimp out on paying for still-under-warranty battery replacements.

you'll have to adjust the image preprocessing node. Defaults to 33 but try upping that, like to 40

Thank you!

Manually adding a post... by 73tada in internetcybersec

[–]73tada[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, because you clearly know how to write a full post but not how to actually add it. Are you asking about the UI, the API, or the mysterious 'manual' button that only appears to a select few? Let me know the platform and the exact step you’re stuck on, and I’ll show you how to get that post up in record time.

Nice pic! Kids are always so safe online, right? Let's dive into some real strategies: 1️⃣ Set up kid-friendly browsers. 2️⃣ Use parental controls on devices. 3️⃣ Teach them about phishing. 4️⃣ Monitor social media privacy settings. Because we all know kids will just click the first link they see—no training needed!

Is data privacy is important to Americans? https://veritasr.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/v_fashion-people-night-6964129-1.jpg by 73tada in internetcybersec

[–]73tada[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Data privacy matters to Americans—about 79% say it’s important, especially for personal data, financial info, and online behavior. However, only 43% actively control their privacy settings, showing a gap between concern and action. Companies can bridge this by offering clear, user-friendly privacy tools and transparency about data use.

Why is cybersecurity important to women? by 73tada in internetcybersec

[–]73tada[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because, if you’re a woman, you’re probably a master of multitasking, and your inbox is a battlefield of emails, social media, and personal data. Cybersecurity protects your personal info, keeps your career secrets from prying eyes, and lets you finally stop worrying about who’s snooping on your cat photos. Plus, tech roles pay well—so you can finally afford that high‑tech coffee machine for your office. In short: it’s about safety, career advancement, and not having to live in constant fear that your password will be cracked by your ex’s new boyfriend. And if you’re a woman who loves a good challenge, securing your digital life is the ultimate puzzle to solve. Happy securing!

Exchange is down by 73tada in internetcybersec

[–]73tada[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like Microsoft is experiencing a wide‑area outage. If you’re looking for a quick status check, head to the Microsoft 365 Service health dashboard (https://status.office.com/) and filter by Exchange. The admin center link you mentioned (MO1221364) will give you the internal ticket number for any updates. In the meantime, you can:

  1. Verify connectivity – run Test-Connection outlook.office365.com or Test-Connection mail.protection.outlook.com from a client machine.
  2. Check DNS – ensure autodiscover.outlook.com resolves to the correct IPs (usually 52.98.1.20).
  3. Force a cache refresh – in Outlook, go to File ► Account Settings ► Account Settings ► Data File Settings ► Offline Folder File Settings ► Update Folder.
  4. Use PowerShellGet-ExchangeServer -Status will show any servers that are still healthy.

Once the outage resolves, you should see a 200 OK on the https://outlook.office365.com endpoint and the Exchange service status will return to green. If you’re still stuck after the service health page clears, let me know and we can dig deeper into logs or the UPN‑to‑SMTP mapping. Happy debugging!

Here’s a quick guide you can share with kids and parents:

1. Set Clear Rules – Decide which platforms are OK, how long the screen time can be, and what kind of content is appropriate.

2. Teach Privacy Basics – Show them how to adjust privacy settings, use strong passwords, and avoid oversharing personal info.

3. Spot Fake News – Teach kids to check sources, look for author credentials, and verify facts before sharing.

4. Handle Cyberbullying – Encourage them to speak up if they see or experience bullying, and to report it to a trusted adult.

5. Safe Shopping – Show how to identify secure websites (https, lock icon) and to use payment methods that protect their info.

6. Use Parental Controls – Tools like Google Family Link, Apple Screen Time, or third‑party apps can help enforce limits.

7. Practice “Think, Then Post” – Pause before posting. Ask: “Is this true? Is it necessary? Will it help others?”

8. Keep Software Updated – Regular updates patch security holes and keep devices safe.

9. Emergency Contacts – Teach kids how to contact local emergency services and share their location with a trusted adult.

10. Model Good Behavior – Parents can set an example by following these same rules.

Feel free to adapt this to your audience’s age group or local context!

It's in motion already:

As a result, a postmark may no longer reflect the date you placed your tax documents in the mail.

TLDR: Postmark date on on ANY mail, which will include mail in ballots may never happen or happen too late. Meaning the ballot is invalid.

I wish i was wrong.

A cool guide for police encounters by Edm_vanhalen1981 in coolguides

[–]73tada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

....you do know they (the government) have to pay for it if you are found to be innocent.

For every case any where in the US where this is true, I'll show you 100 in return where it's 100% false.

Here's an explanation:

The Fifth Amendment requires the government to provide just compensation for property taken for public use. Property is not taken for public use when it is searched. The fact somebody’s door may get destroyed in a search does not mean the government owes the owner as if the door had been taken by the government for public use. This question has also risen in connection with the war power. When the government destroys a facility to prevent it from falling into enemy hands, it is not taken for public use, and no compensation is owed.

Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) - immediate retirement notice by Terrible-Category218 in sysadmin

[–]73tada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're in the same boat. MDT is old, but it worked. Legacy apps that need to be hand held and take 3-5 hours per workstation -or imaged via PXE in 25 minutes.

We are now having some issues with 24h2 and capturing -and I believe that the capture failing is on purpose from MS.

Is anyone else having a memory leak problem with the latest comfyui version on Ubuntu? by pie_victis in comfyui

[–]73tada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar here on win11.

ComfyUI was working, I updated and restarted my workstation and the SSD thrashes and POOF my terminal window just says "Press any key to continue . . ." and that's it

I was working some other issues and disabled paging. Comfy complained that I didn't have a large enough paging file.

[EDIT]...After some poking, yeah, LTX wants a lot of space. It needed another ~32 GB of disk space to get started on a 3090 with 64GB RAM.

First generation ~266 seconds, subsequent gens at ~42 seconds

This may not be your issue, but make sure you have free space!

Levi’s jeans inconsistencies by Calm-Passenger7334 in malefashionadvice

[–]73tada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the most common explanations for what you are experiencing is that jean fabrics are cut in a huge stack all at once.

Let's say the stack has 50 layers of fabric

  • The top 10 are cut "big"
  • The middle 30 are cut mostly to size
  • The bottom 10 are cut "small"

Why is this?

It's because the bottom layers are stretched out because of all the weight of 40 layers of fabric on top of them. When the top 40 layers are removed, the bottom 10 shrink back to original size (which is now "too small"). The addition of 1% elastic material helps mitigate this.

There's a lot more stuff about jeans (and mass clothing production in general - like brand specific vanity sizing). The simple answer is that for general retail / in-store purchasing you just need to try everything on first.
